The Rescue
Codeseven Lyrics

In Codeseven's song The Rescue, the singer is inviting someone to live with them in a house that resembles a scene from a motion picture. The house is described as having motor oil stains in the driveway, bits and pieces of cars littering the yard and a neighbor's cat in the trash. Despite the disarray, the singer invites the listener to live in the house "alone" with them. The singer has a black-market-dictionary that is full of pictures and symbols, suggesting that they have had to learn to communicate outside of traditional language.

When the singer drives up to the house, the listener will be in their swing and they will laugh about things that they "know nothing about," but "laugh anyway." This suggests a sense of simplicity and innocence in their relationship. The singer wants the listener to stay "just the way that you are" indicating that they appreciate the listener for the person they are, flaws and all.

The use of imagery in the lyrics creates a detailed and vivid picture of the house, the yard, and the swing. The singer's use of a black-market-dictionary and the lack of traditional language suggests that they may have lived a life outside of the norms of society. The lyrics convey a sense of acceptance and simplicity in their relationship with the listener.
